LOS ANGELES Jillian Michaels has been sued for alleged false advertising by a woman who claims she was duped into buying a diet supplement endorsed by the celebrity trainer.
Christie Christensen of Lake Elsinore, Calif., is seeking class-action status for the case she filed Tuesday in Los Angeles. Michaels is a hard-charging, no-nonsense trainer best-known as one of the stars of NBC's hit reality show, "The Biggest Loser."
Christensen's lawsuit claims she bought a product called "Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Calorie Control" last month and that it has failed to lessen her appetite or cause her to lose weight as advertised.

Caveat Emptor
If it’s any consolation she’s an Obamabot along with that skinny white guy trainer she’s on with. For a while they were praising the BO garden of veggies and falling all over themselves over him. Let her get sued.
“A fraud, but she’s still pretty damn hot”
A chick’s head on a dude’s body (albeit with breasts) is not my idea of hot.
I’m a jock. I like fit girls.
Even her face looks a little too masculine for me. She has always given me the creeps. There is a hormone imbalance issue with her.

Lets just say I believe in healthy love, Michaels tells writer Judith Newman. If I fall in love with a woman, thats awesome. If I fall in love with a man, thats awesome. As long as you fall in love Its like organic food. I only eat healthy food, and I only want healthy love!
If I were a woman she’d turn me into a lesbian. ;)
“Im a jock. I like fit girls.”
“Fit” is one thing. More upper-body strength than me is another.
Well, I was football player for a long time, and still hit the gym 5-6 times a week. So not an issue.
Whenever I see any of this weight-loss machines or diet pill crap hawked on TV, I'm reminded of a Simpson episode when the newscaster (I think) gave a breathless "authoritative" expose on something and at the end a voice came in sotto voce and said "May not be true." It's become a family tradition to say the same after much we see on TV.
